Hey everyone, wee question, am thinking of getting my silver wheels powder coated white, has anyone had this done and did it look ok? My Car is mint green with a black roof, am going to get it repainted white and the mirrors to match, has anyone seen anything like this, not sure it will look ok?

I think it would look pretty good - white wheels a bit harder to keep clean tho 8)

Roof decal would be cheaper, and less trouble , painting the roof is not as easy as you think !! I also know of white cooper wheels for sale with good tyres .Stone might have white mirror caps as well !!
PM me for details

My tyres ive got are virtually brand new, but would be interested to know how much for the wheels just to compare it to the price of getting them powder coated.

Am going through a similar dilemma - refurbish cooper s wheels or get new ones. Anyone know here I can get wheels refurbished in Borders /Edinburgh area? Also rough idea of cost per wheel?

Thinking of getting BK Racing 299's if don't get Cooper wheels refurbished
